Log Cabin Chronicles
Ibid
ELISHA PORAT
"Ibid, ibid," and even more "ibid . . . " I was sent, in my youth, to The footnotes on the bottom of the page. But I couldn't see how these "ibids," Below the scrolls, below the papers, Helped waste my life there wandering Among them. Today I'll not wonder any More: I know there is not any "ibid" that Can divert me from the final hole Who waits for my life to finish. My last "ibid" is already there: Waiting for me, ready for me . . . To its end I'm sent.
